  2. PySB v1.14.0 Released

    New features

    • Energy modeling by @jmuhlich in #553 This adds support for BNG's energy modeling formalism. Models can now contain EnergyPatterns as well as energy-based Rules with the Arrhenius rate law parameterized by activation energy (E₀) and rate distribution (φ). Energy-based models can be simulated directly in PySB or exported to …

  5. PySB v1.13.0 Released

    Removed features

    • Remove pure-python exporter (#543). The pure Python exporter was a legacy feature to export a PySB model for use without PySB itself. We recommend using a virtual environment or container as a better alternative (e.g. Ananconda, Docker). Users requiring this feature who cannot use alternatives could copy …

  9. PySB v1.10.0 Released

    New features

    Local functions allow PySB expressions to accept a tagged MonomerPattern or ComplexPattern as an argument. For example, in the following snippet, A synthesizes C with rate dependent on bound B:

      Observable('AB_motif', A(b=1) % B(a=1))
  Tag('x')
  Expression('f_synth …
